A CONTINUATION OF
"PEGASI: LIKE GLITTER AND PONIES, BUT MORE SINISTER"

Bailey stared intently at Stranger #2 as she lay there, deathly still. Slowly, he whispered to Tal, "Is she... is she-" he couldn't bring himself to say it. Fortunately, he didn't have to because Tal suddenly shouted "SHE'S BREATHING!" Stranger #2 slowly lifted herself up, and Bailey tried to help her, but she immediately launched into a coughing fit, coughing up blood.
If there was one thing Bailey had learned from years of watching movies, it was that if someone was coughing up blood, he (or she) was going to DIE.
"TAL! TAL! WHAT DO WE DO?!" Realizing that asking a crippled girl what they were supposed to do wasn't the best idea, he shouted even louder, "SOMEONE GET A MEDIC! SOME-" he stopped suddenly because the dying stranger suddenly spoke, trying to give them instructions. "Run?" he repeated incredulously. "You're telling two-" He quickly caught himself. "I mean, a cripple to run?! Does it look like we can run after being nearly killed TWICE by a demonic pegasus! Look at Tal! She has crut-"
He stopped mid-sentence again because Stranger #2 had suddenly sworn under her breath. "Huh?" He suddenly caught site of Stranger #1 lying very, very still in the grass with what looked like blood surrounding her. "OHMYGODS! SHE'S DEAD! THE ****ING PEGASUS GORED HER!" Oh, wait, pegasi weren't the ones with horns... Those were unicorns. Whatever. "I MEAN, IT ****ING MAULED HER! PROBABLY KILLED HER!" He was on the verge of hysterics when Stranger #2's cool voice calmed him down. She finished giving instructions, and he nodded because there was nothing else he could do.
However, he didn't really fancy the idea of touching a corpse.
"RUN!"
Bailey took off, dragging Tal behind him, as fast as possible. They were instantly spotted. Bailey let out a string of curse words as he screamed "C'MON TAL! RUN! RUN, DAMMIT, RUNNNN!", completely forgetting that he was telling a cripple to run. He took on a speed he didn't think possible as he made a beeline for the corpse.
Some giant bird must've arrived because Bailey suddenly heard something ca-caw, and the pegasus veered off to pursue the new target. Poor bird... Within seconds, Bailey was by Stranger #1's side, and a sickly sweet smell reached his nostrils. Was it...? Yes, it was. It was strawberry juice. Bailey inspected the girl, and it seemed that she was indeed breathing.
He could've fainted from relief right then and there.
Good thing he didn't because they had acorpsebody to take to the infirmary, and Tal and her crutches wouldn't be of much help. Grunting slightly, Bailey picked up the girl (all that swimming had finally paid off) and made his way down the field painfully slow. The last thing he needed was to drop her after all.SEVERAL MINUTES LATER...
Bailey arrived at the infirmary screaming. "WE NEED A COT! SOMEONE FAINTED! ACTUALLY, MAKE THAT TWO COTS! SOMEONE GOT STABBED!" Spotting an empty one, he dumped Stranger #1 on it (not too gently because after all, this whole thing was her fault) and stretched his arms and shoulders.
He took a few steps away before sitting down on another cot, Tal taking a seat beside him. Closing his eyes, Bailey asked her, "Is this shit really happening?" Why did this... nightmare have to happen to him? Why not someone who actually deserved it?
A loud commotion forced him to look up, and he spotted Stranger #2 being carried in by an army of campers. Bailey quickly got up and made his way to her side, pushing people aside. "Is she ok?" he asked the nearest person.
